Solution Capabilities

Included Capabilities

Align organizational goals and achievements for superior performance

Translate strategy throughout the organization with a scorecard approach by using strategy development and translation solutions from SAP. Capture cross-functional, qualitative, and quantitative performance measures and determine the interrelationship of each task to one another. Cascade scorecards, metrics, and targets to clarify priorities, drive accountability, and improve collaboration.

Streamline and enhance financial planning and analysis

Spend less effort on transactional work and more time on planning, budgeting, forecasting, and analysis to better support the business. With automated processes such as data aggregation and embedded calculations and reporting, more time is available to model and simulate what-if scenarios to quickly identify and capitalize on growth opportunities and reduce risks. As a result, you can boost planning accuracy and reduce cycle time.

Gain deeper insight into profitability and cost factors

Act decisively with a clear understanding of how your decisions will impact profitability and cost. Identify your most profitable customers, channels, and products. Run what-if scenarios across multiple dimensions. But most of all, get a clear picture of your organization’s cost drivers and align resources with your business strategy.

Accelerate the entity close through automation and standardization. Templates can be used across multiple entities and closing cycles to improve corporate governance, share best practices, and drive efficiency. Support quick and efficient peer-to-peer reconciliation of intercompany balances and invoices between group subsidiaries. Plus, you can run closing processes across multiple SAP and third-party software.

Support legal and management consolidation and reporting capabilities for corporate close processes – all within the same tool. Save time and money by providing timely, reliable information. Support multiple currencies and global reporting standards in a faster, automated fashion. As a result, companies can maintain a fully documented audit trail for regulatory compliance and reduced audit costs.

Reduce the time, cost, and risk of regulatory filings and disclosures

Accelerate financial reporting and disclosure with fact-based decision making. Access relevant information anytime and anywhere to better understand business needs for quick and confident action. Generate pixel-perfect reports and clear, understandable metrics to gain visibility into what's driving the business.
